Cities are the economic generators of the nation, they are also the source of culture. Without cities there is no civilization (the word itself is derived from “city”). Once the GOP figures out how to capture the city vote the Democrat Party is finished.
The world dances to the tune of cities, like it or not.
Well, since the GOP has been steadily turning into pseudo-democrats I'd say their isn't that much to hope for.
No, businesses and the people who build them are...no matter where they locate. Cities suck additional resources out of business.
they are also the source of culture.
The culture comes from the people, no matter where they live. Food, music, other forms of self-entertainment are regional.
As far as the snotty city-based "high brow culture"...opera, theater, art and croissants, Maplethorp etc (not to mention Rap, Pimps and Hos)...I'm absolutely afecogenic! Wouldn't cross the street to see it if it was free.
Without cities there is no civilization
Yeah right! The civilization moved Westward to get away from the disgusting sewers of the East.
"civilization" the word itself is derived from “city”.
Not so much, but the word "community" does come from "commune" as does the repugnant term "Communism". Karl Marx spoke extensively of the "insanity of rural living."
Cities used to have walls for public safety, but they outlived their usefulness when the savages stopped storming the gates. Now they are just a swarming nest of dependent parasites living off the revenue confiscated from producers.
Once the GOP figures out how to capture the city vote the Democrat Party is finished.
That will never happen, because Communists don't vote Republican. The big-city government/labor unions/mafia, the colleges and the communisty organizers will continue to see to that.
